Member: Allegheny Family Medicine East Kudos: A man who collapsed at a North Huntingdon fitness center in January may have a Seton Hill University student to thank for saving his life. Chris Miller, 23, of Greensburg, a senior at the Greensburg school and son of Norwin Chamber member Pat Miller of Allegheny Family Medicine East, said he used an automated external defibrillator to deliver an electric shock and revive the man at Planet Fitness on Sunday night. I administered one jolt. His body jumped up. Right after that, he was revived and regained consciousness, Miller said. Miller said this was the first time he used the AED after taking a class in the fall at Seton Hill, where he learned how to use it. Once the man was revived, his pulse was weak and the AED indicated that cardiopulmonary resuscitation was necessary. A gym patron, who assisted in reviving the victim, administered 30 compressions before emergency personnel arrived. The man, whose family did not want to be identified, was taken to a Pittsburgh area hospital. Miller said he would not have been there to resuscitate the man if it were not for his decision to return home from Deep Creek, Md. because of inclement weather. When he walked into Planet Fitness about 6 p.m. for a workout, he saw a group of people gathered around the collapsed man. Miller said he dropped his bags at the gym s entrance and ran over to the exercise equipment area where a woman was administering compressions on the man s chest. Despite efforts by Miller and another patron to administer CPR, the man did not respond. I looked at him. He was limp and pale white, with his eyes rolled back in his head. He wasn t there, Miller said. Miller said he took the AED that had been placed near the man and administered one electric shock to the heart. The man s family expressed their gratitude in a Facebook posting to the two strangers for their life-saving efforts. These two young men saved his life.... From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you. I want to hug them and tell them I could never repay them for what they gave back to me. I want to tell them how much their split-second reaction affected my family. And most of all, my father does as well.... We will forever be thankful, his daughter wrote on Facebook.
